Hi,
I just updated to Version 10.3.2412 (260ec1e) on MacOS Sequoia and the ‘Show as’ option for a Calendar event no longer includes ‘Out of Office’. Is this a deliberate change or a bug?

I never knew you could setup Out of Office replies “within the calendar event itself”. But if you could before, then no doubt that will be fixed or someone will reply in this thread on that.
Out off Office (automatic reply’s) are normally setup via the “Tools” menu as in the eM Client documentation example below
(Automatic Replies)
Quote: - “Automatic replies, also called Vacation responder or Out of office messages is a feature which enables you to set a message which will be automatically sent as a reply to any received email within a set timeframe”.
“This feature can be accessed in Menu > Tools > Automatic replies”.
The feature you describe is an automatic response to a received email to notify the sender of my out of office status - an email feature. That is not the feature I am referring to, which is a Calendar feature.
In previous releases of EM Client, when creating a new event, one of the options was “Show as”. The options offered in the pull-down menu were ‘Free/Busy/Tentative/Out of office’. This setting controlled the Event background in Calender view (in Day, Work Week, Week, Upcoming or Month view). It provides an instant visual indication without having to open the Event.
Pleease see https://www.emclient.com/release-history?os=mac and view the description of Release 10.3.1524.0. It clearly explains the feature.
This has disappeared in the latest version. Only the options ‘Busy/Free’ are offered. Events created in the earlier release retain their original status and indicative background, but this is lost when opening (for editing, or viewing more detail about) the Event in this latest release.
However once an Event has been created it can still be edited in any Calendar view via ‘Right-click/Show as’.
I am assuming this change was not deliberate.

Yes I checked the online documentation on creating events and yes you are correct “it should have Free/Busy/Tentative/Out of office in the Show As” dropdown as per the manual below “and is missing” in the latest Mac and Windows V10.3.2412
@Olivia_Rust are you aware of this issue ?
I tested eM Client Windows V10.3.1738 and “it has all those options” so appears it was removed after that which does look like a bug.
